Solar Panel Lifetime Productivity and Maintenance Costs

Productivity

Good quality solar panels are built to produce energy for 25+ years, but they will last longer (there are solar systems across the country that were installed in the 70s still going strong). The solar panels that Boston Solar carries have one of the best warranties in the industry - a 25-year linear warranty guaranteeing a certain performance factor for the warranty time period. Solar panel performance will decline as solar cells degrade due to unavoidable circumstances such as UV exposure and weather cycles. However, as mentioned, they can and will continue to produce energy to power your home or business.
